L[C]eavin home, [F]out on the [C]road
Ive [F]been down befor[C]e
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/steve_miller_band/jet_airliner_tab_ver_5.html )
[C]Ridin alon[C]g in this [C]big ol je[C]t plane
Ive been th[F]inkin about my[C] home
[C]But my lov[C]e light se[C]ems so fa[C]r away
And I [D#]feel like[C] its all been done
[C]Somebodys t[C]ryin to ma[C]ke me st[C]ay
[D#]You know Ive [C]got to be movin on
(Chorus)
[D#]Oh, oh big [C]ol jet airliner
[D#]Dont carry m[C]e too far away
[D#]Oh, oh big [C]ol jet airliner
[D#]Cause its he[C]re that Ive got to stay
Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people Ive trusted
Ive got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven
Chorus
Touchin down in new england town
Feel the heat comin down
Ive got to keep on keepin on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin around
And Im goin with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I dont want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin down in the city
Chorus 2 times
